The Weaponisation of Science: How to Avoid a Global Catastrophe (Professor Carlo Rovelli)
Physicist Carlo Rovelli thinks we need natural intelligence and not artificial intelligence in an age of confrontation.
Ten years ago he wrote a short book called Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, which became an international bestseller and catapulted him to scientific stardom.
A decade on he thinks the world is at a dangerous moment as the West’s dominance declines and global powers prioritise competition over collaboration.
One area he's most concerned about is AI, which he thinks is overhyped but needs to be controlled nonetheless.
He also explains some mind-bending ideas about time, space and why he thinks the Big Bang was actually a Big Bounce.
